Danville officials announced Thursday that Zeyuan Flooring International Corp. is locating its first United States manufacturing facility in Cane Creek Centre.

The company will invest $15 million and employee 100 people over a three-year period, officials said.

About nine months will be needed to build the 40,000 square-foot facility.

"While the new building is being constructed, the company initially will operate out of GOK International next door with a small staff," said Danville City Manager Joe King.

Andy Yang of GOK International, at 434-791-2100, will be the contact person for job inquiries while the factory is being built in Cane Creek since GOK will be helping Zeyuan Flooring with product distribution and sales during the time period.
